Ethan's Run - 10k - Feb 12, 2011

After doing 2 half-marathons, I thought I would try a shorter run and do a 10k (6.1 miles). The course was hills so going up was tough but coming down the hill was great. I think I prefer endurance events though because I felt better doing London's Run which was more than double the milage but I paced myself much better. I felt like I was trying to sprint (a sprint for me) for 6 miles and it just wasn't as fun. But just as before, doing the race with friends made it such a fun experience and I still enjoyed the whole event.

I've got these pictures out of order but the above picture is the beginning of the race.

I didn't really know what to expect my time to be for this race but I was happy with my results.

My average pace was 8:21, I was 2nd in my age division out of 19 women and I came in 29th out of 225 people.
